The South Shore Women's Hockey League (SSWHL) consists of over 25 women's ice hockey teams representing the Massachusetts, Rhode Island, and New Hampshire areas.  The league and it's teams are USA Hockey registered, and consist of 4 Senior Divisions - A, B, C, and D, coinciding with the USA Hockey designation for the women's divisions.

 

This website was created to keep those teams informed about the various aspects of the league, and is hopefully a useful resource for players wishing to get more involved with women's ice hockey, in addition to a tool for the league's participants. 

 

The Bulletin Board section below will be a posting of all league events, and can be used to inform team administrators of meetings, players of available ice times, teams looking for players and/or coaches, etc.

SSWHL GOALIES -


The SSWHL maintains a list of goalies willing to fill in at goal for other teams when their own goalie is unavailable. If you would like to be added to this list, just fill in and submit the 'PLEASE ADD ME TO THE GOALIE LIST' form, and you will be added to a list made available to the coaches and team reps in our league.

PICKUP HOCKEY -


Every Thursday night at 9:00 from now until March 25 at the Daly Rink on Nonantum Road in Brighton. Cost is $15.

All levels are welcome, and team play is encouraged. If you are a goalie, we are limited to two goalies, so if you are interested, the first couple to respond (email Stacey at stormwomenshockey@comcast.net), get the slots, and all others will be put on a backup list (if you want to skate out, you are certainly welcome to do that).

Feel free to pass this along to anyone you feel would be interested. They must be USA Hockey registered, but they can do that on-line (you know the drill) or I can do it at the rink.

If you have any questions, you can email me at stormwomenshockey@comcast.net.

    Learn to Skate Program Looking for Volunteer Instructors

    The Learn to Skate Program at the Simoni Rink in East Cambridge is looking for volunteer instructors. The program is a non-structured hour where children at various beginner levels have access to ice time and volunteer instructors.

    Generally, you end up playing lots of skating games with the kids and having a lot of fun! Many of the kids come form underpriviledged homes and quite a few are new to the country and have parents that can not skate - so this is really their only opportunity to learn.

    Please email dtaylor47@gmail.com if you are interested.
